Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end development, simulation, and fabrication of novel patterning hardware
Drive exploratory R&D autonomously across optical design and nanofabrication
Simulate optical and nanophotonic behavior to guide hands-on physical experimentation
Interface closely with the process team to seamlessly integrate patterning hardware with adjacent deposition, development, and etch steps

Requirements

PhD, or equivalent, in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
Demonstrated command of applied optics (including sub-wavelength and nanophotonic regimes) and experimental optics/metrology
Deep, hands-on expertise in nanofabrication and sub-micron patterning
Strong background in lithography and patterning hardware design, including advanced resolution-enhancement techniques
Proven ability to plan and execute complex R&D work autonomously, taking generative ideas all the way to working physical prototypes

End-to-end fabrication experience with nanophotonic or sub-wavelength optical devices
Design experience with metasurfaces or metalenses
